Barbora Kroužková
Journalist and presenter
I was born in 1973, I turned 50 in September. I graduated with a master’s degree from IPS FSV in political science and international relations. I have been working in the media since 1992.
Motivation for moderating Equal Pay Day:
Women in our country still have lower salaries than men in many positions. Last year, the gender pay gap in our country was (if I’m not mistaken) 17,6%. It is unacceptable that women have to work 60 days longer to achieve the same result. This inequality has many causes and they need to be revealed, named and eliminated. That is why I was happy to accept the offer to moderate the discussion at this 16th annual Equal Pay Day conference, organized by the non-profit organization Business and Professional Women of the Czech Republic. It is a very important topic that should be addressed by the state, certainly every employer and of course each of us.
